The twelve-course curriculum emphasizes action-based learning as students assess actual technologies and innovations.  In teams, candidates collaboratively develop market strategies and business plans for these technologies.  The program culminates with each team formally presenting its final technology commercialization plan to a panel of faculty, industry leaders and venture capitalists. Each year MSTC graduates launch several technologies into successful commercial ventures. At present, there aren't any electives offered or permitted. Classes meet on alternate weekends, both Friday and Saturday, for 27 weekends.
